Info
Kool & the Gang play Casino Rama in Orillia, Canada on February 22, 2026, with a catalogue that has shaped funk, soul and R&B across five decades. Formed in late-60s Jersey City around bassist Robert “Kool” Bell and his brother Ronald, the band blended jazz roots with punchy funk before shifting toward vocal-led R&B with J.T. Taylor. Their tracks still drive dancefloors and samplers alike: Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness, Open Sesame and more.
A steady tour life has kept the group on the road year after year, the lineup evolving while the brass, basslines and hooks stay tight. Along the way came milestones: a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2018, then the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2024. On stage, they stitch together instrumental beginnings and chart singles, where horns lock with rhythm and the grooves land with precision.
